Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on MAPREDUCE-323:
---------------------------------------------------
Summarizing the requirements, the issue tries to solve
1. Maintaining the history folder by administrators becomes hard, since huge
number of job history files in a single directory could not be listed.
2. User experience (response time and searchablility) with history UI should
not suffer because of huge number of files in history directory.
3. Given a jobid, User should be able to know what the history url is.
> Improve the way job history files are managed

> Key: MAPREDUCE-323
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-323
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jobtracker
> Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.22.0
> Reporter: Amar Kamat
> Assignee: Amareshwari Sriramadasu
> Priority: Critical
>
> Today all the jobhistory files are dumped in one _job-history_ folder. This
> can cause problems when there is a need to search the history folder
> (job-recovery etc). It would be nice if we group all the jobs under a _user_
> folder. So all the jobs for user _amar_ will go in _history-folder/amar/_.
> Jobs can be categorized using various features like _jobid, date, jobname_
> etc but using _username_ will make the search much more efficient and also
> will not result into namespace explosion.
